The connection between the indoor wellness facilities and outdoor terrace creates a natural extension of the living space and allows the villa to be enjoyed throughout the year.

The generous glazing and open orientation maximise the property's exceptional views over the sea and Kvarner Bay.

Security is supported by a professional alarm system and comprehensive video surveillance covering the villa.
